UK to Join NATO Nuclear Mission With U.S.-Made F-35A Fighter Jets
The UK government, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has announced the purchase of 12 nuclear-capable F-35A fighter jets to join NATO’s airborne nuclear mission, marking a significant enhancement of Britain’s defense capabilities. This decision, driven by rising global nuclear threats, aims to bolster NATO’s deterrence strategy while supporting 20,000 UK jobs, though it raises concerns about reliance on U.S. control over nuclear weapons deployment.
